From Sensor Fusion to Software-Defined Perception: The Evolution of Three Dimensional Vision Systems
Keywords:
Software-Defined Perception, Stereo Vision, Autonomous Systems, Depth Estimation, Camera-Based SensingAbstract
The landscape of autonomous machine perception has undergone a fundamental transformation in recentyears, moving away from the conventional multi-sensor approach that dominated the field for decades.Traditional autonomous systems relied on complex sensorsuites combining radar, LiDAR, and camerasin tandem, an architecture that delivered reliable environmental understanding but atconsiderable cost interms of hardware expenses, calibration complexity,
